One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 342 Jordan’s Birth

Early the next morning, Courtney went to Alicia’s house with fruits and flowers.

Because William had to go work in Kyoto, he left during the night. When Courtney went over, only Alicia was in the living room trimming a pot of bonsai.

“Miss Hunter is here.”

The servant opened the door and led Courtney in. “Oh, Miss Hunter, how nice of you. You always bring so many things when you visit.”

Before Courtney could speak, Alicia’s voice sounded from the living room.

“You bring fruits and flowers every time you visit. Anyone who doesn’t know better would think that you were visiting a patient.”

Hearing this, Courtney hurriedly gave a dismissive wave of her hand, then walked over and huffed, “Aunt Alicia, you really have no sense of taboos when you speak. You’re going to jinx yourself.”

Alicia grimaced. “Although you went to the United States before finishing college, you were still a medical student. How are you still so superstitious?”

Courtney chuckled and sat down on the sofa. “Isn’t it better to be superstitious? I just want you to be healthy and live a long life.”

“You not angering me to death is already good enough.”

As soon as Courtney entered the house, Alicia hadn’t been in a good mood. Her pot of bonsai, which initially looked to be in good condition, had been trimmed bald. Looking at the wrecked plant, Courtney silently mourned it for a few seconds.

“Are you still angry about what happened last night?” Courtney squatted beside the coffee table and watched Alicia mess with the horrific-looking pot of bonsai. “It’s not worth it getting angry over such a trivial matter, Aunt Alicia.”

“Is it a trivial matter?”

Alicia’s brows furrowed.

“It was the first time our two families were meeting, and the Hunter Family doesn’t have a good reputation in the first place. I was afraid that you would be scorned by the Duncans after you get married. Everyone from your Uncle Stephen’s family really doesn’t know better. I was already ashamed of them, and now, we’re completely humiliated.”
